Resource: Dellinger v. Bessent: Justice Gorsuch Dissent

February 16, 2025, the government asked the Supreme Court to vacate the district court's order (issuing a TRO)while the government appealed, or to issue an administrative stay. On February 21, the Court declined to do so, instead holding the application "in abeyance" until February 26, the day the TRO was set to expire. Justice Gorsuch (joined by Justice Alito) dissented, explaining his view that an equitable order could not direct the appointment or removal of an executive official.
